According to the media report, since CBSE schools are present worldwide, it is impossible to conduct CBSE board exams in two shifts under the present system and policies.

The move aims to give students more opportunities to perform well and retain their best scores, as per the NCF announced last year."

According to the NCF announced by the education ministry last year, board examinations will be held twice a year to ensure that students have enough time and opportunity to perform well and get an option to retain the best score.
